With Jason Doherty breaking inside the Dublin defence, Cluxton was quickest to react, getting down low to his right to paw out what was a certain goal.

Just a minute later Dublin went down the other end and fashioned a fantastic opportunity through Paul Mannion - and Clarke stuck out a leg instinctively to flick the ball away.

Both goalkeepers had early issues off the kickouts but were largely excellent on the day - although a late misplacement form Clarke did cost Mayo their last chance of the game to tie the affairs after Dean Rock's clincher.

Still, the two goalkeepers are a credit to both their counties and their sport, and they remain the two best shot stoppers in the game today, and these stops prove it.
